"I know that I have cancer, I know that I need to get something done. But there's a system that's broken." At 17, facing Hodgkin's disease, Rae McMahan discovered healthcare's cruel irony: even with insurance, even with a cancer diagnosis, the system could still fail you at your most vulnerable moment. "The system was very broken. So ever since that time I felt very much a connection to be in healthcare."

She considered becoming a physician but chose the business path instead. Why? Because fixing one patient at a time wasn't enough. She needed to fix the system that failed her—and millions like her.

Today, she's revolutionizing medication access for 260 million Americans. Sometimes your worst moment becomes your life's work.

In this clip from Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Rae shows how personal pain can fuel systemic change.
